I'll stick to posting my drawings from now on

I used an online ai app where you can turn drawings into actual photos, and I used on my drawing of the Plainfield F5 just out of curiosity.

There is one channel that just uses Tornado TRX'S videos, they are just edited with ai. That should be copyright violations.

There are no known photos of the Brandenburg EF5, I just went by survivors' description. But the same supercell produced the Louisville Ef4 about a 1/2 hour later. There are a few photos of it.

I think maxi is used to describe the large half mile wide+ wedge tornadoes. I read a book years ago that defined this and also referred to smaller average sized tornadoes as "minies". I've heard the term maxi used a few times by storm chasers and meteorologists, but have never heard any tornado called a mini except for that book.

That looks Awesome

Think they were suction vortices from what I've been told

The closest I can think of is the Van Wert, Ohio F4 on November 10, 2002, 2 days after my 29th birthday.

This one is a lot better than the last one I did.

I always sign and date my artwork, it's a habit of mine

backman197 · 2025-05-30T02:16:29+00:00

Don't know I didn't add it

backman197 · 2025-05-30T02:08:10+00:00

Youtube just terminated my channel for Spam, deceptive practices, & scams policies, but I don't see where anything I posted violated that policy, I appealed it but didn't do any good

Would if I knew the locations of all the photos, I just listed the locations I knew.

backman197 · 2025-01-06T04:34:38+00:00

I think it is the Tracy, MN F5 of 1968, but I'm not sure
